I actually think it makes perfect sense, the majority of us eat animals that are drugged up and inactive, and look at where we're going.
And yes, I would have to try it.

It makes sense that you'd be closed-minded and afraid of trying new things (and used to being fed the same crap over and over), considering that you like Halo.

I believe someone from the New York Times in the 1930's tried human flesh once. He said it was tough to compare it to anything, but chose veal as a meat that slightly compared to the taste.
I'd do under different circumstances, but not the way things are now. If gas hits five dollars a gallon, ask me then.

Do you know how mad cow disease was started? From cows eating cows. If humans ate other humans it would have negative effects on the body and brain, and chances are any offspring would would have defects. Hence the reason we don't eat human, as in case you haven't noticed, it's in large supply.

In this example, no.
1. A person who volunteered to be dinner probably wouldn't take care of himself or herself for the months before dying.
2. Jerky is a poor style of meat. Slow cooked roasts are awesome. Steaks are great. Even burgers are good if properly grilled.

You're just talking about the initial rush attack. What I'm talking about is like a 1-4 yrs after World War Z (and we lost in this version). Since filtration systems in almost every major civilized habitat will have stopped working due to lack of human maintenance, humans will have to resort to becoming nomadic scavengers - moving to places of possible usable resources such as edible animals & potable water when they can and resorting to cannibalism when they can't. In a world of few resources, anything that is renewable and (fairly) portable is a blessing for any who wish to continue their existence in a hellish world. Babies fill that role perfectly. They're tiny so they're portable, and so long as you have one fertile woman in your group, they're renewable. It's definitely not something anyone civil would do but, in a zombie apocalypse, civility is hardly in great supply.

[quote name='paddlefoot']What? How would this work? Are you going to starve the pregnant women?[/quote]
No, pregnant women are a premium (since they're both the source of your renewable resource & humanity's future) so you'd keep them the healthiest, even above your own life. They'd get first pick of any food source. Now it also depends on how often you want the babies. Do you want fully developed or a 3-5 month fetus? Remember, food is very scarce so eating a full 9 month baby would be a feast (both for zombies and us post-apocalyptic cannibals) so our group can't have one every day. You want to stretch your meals out so that your group is both nourished enough to survive the next day & strong enough to fend off any zombies (& rival human groups) they encounter. Salt (next to guns/ammo) will be the new money in the zombie world as it can both preserve meat as well as give it flavor.
Now you don't want your group too huge as the logistics start to become difficult in maintaining order within the group as well as feeding them. As such, women would be more valued (again, as the source of a renewable resource) until you achieve a ratio of 2:1 men to women. Two men per every woman since when she's in her 2-3rd trimester, that's one less pair of hands that can handle a gun or sword. When there is an imbalance (more female than male or 4+ males per female), the group would take steps to bring the balance back. You would never kill one of your group unless absolutely necessary because, remember, zombies are the real enemy here. In the event of too many females, you'd assign half of the women to get pregnant, by choice or rape (depending on how depraved your group has become). Of the ones that are pregnant, half of the fetuses will be allowed to grow as future foot soldiers while the other half become food. In the case of too many males, the group would go out and raid other human groups for their food & women. This accomplishes 3 things. One, it lowers the male population (hopefully not too much). Two, it replenishes the group's resources (food & women). Finally, the group grows at a nice enough pace to eventually become an army that is well versed in guerilla tactics (raids against other human groups) & zombie warfare.

And as for deciding which body part is delicious, why experimentation of course. I would think that it would be similar to how most other meats are - red lean meat are like steaks & pork chops, white would be fat marbling which enhances the flavor.

[quote name='"Telegraph.co.uk"']A seven-year-old boy was kept chained in a closet as relatives hacked off pieces of his flesh to eat, a court has heard.
In a case with echoes of the Fritzl family horror in Austria, Ondrej Mauerova was partially skinned in the closet in a cellar at his home in Kurim near Brno, in the Czech Republic, according to reports.
The abuse – involving members of a religious cult – was uncovered by chance last May when a neighbour's television baby monitor picked up graphic pictures of what was happening next door.
Ondrej and his nine-year-old brother Jakub were locked and chained in the cellar for months by their mother Klara, 31 – a member of a group called the Grail Movement.
He was caged, beaten and gagged to stop him screaming, according to reports.
Mauerova had the monitor installed so that she could watch the abuse from her kitchen but the images were picked up by a neighbour who used an identical system to monitor a newborn baby, the regional court in Brno has heard.
Police were called and the two boys as well as what appeared to be a 13-year-old girl were freed.
But the girl later turned out to have been one of the alleged abusers, 34-year-old Barbora Skrlova.
She subsequently fled to Norway before being brought back to the Czech Republic earlier this year.
Mauerova has admitted abusing her children but she said she had been manipulated by Skrlova and her own sister Katerina.
The accused are Klara Mauerova, her sister Katerina, 34; Barbora Skrlova, 33; her brother Jan Skrla and a friend Jan Turek.[/quote]
